Abstract

Technologies and policies for adopting hydrogen in various forms for different industrial applications are currently being developed. Recent studies have revealed the potential use of wind power plants to operate green hydrogen generation plants considering the consistent resource availability during a year. However, in real time, wind energy is intermittent at a location, and plants generate varying capacities of GH2, which has rarely been studied and published. This study suggests a thorough feasibility evaluation approach for producing green hydrogen from wind power plants, one ton per day. The intermittency effects of wind resource availability on GH2 generation using a PEM electrolyser were examined in two case studies at the Tuticorin location in Tamil Nadu, India. The model analysis projected the optimal sizing of the electrolyser and wind power plant for 1TPD GH2 generation at 3 MW and 11.5 MW, respectively, by considering the Battery Energy Storage System. The capacity utilization factor of wind power plant is 36.78 % at the analyzed Indian location. Results from the proposed energy model indicate that the intermittency of daily GH2 production is in the range of 34.58 %–67.15 % for systems with and without energy storage, respectively.
